1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The hypothesis that Na(+) influx during the action potential (AP) activates reverse Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange (NCX) and subsequent entry of trigger Ca(2+) is controversial. We tested this hypothesis by monitoring intracellular Ca(2+) before and after selective inactivation of I(Na) prior to a simulated action potential in patch-clamped ventricular myocytes isolated from adult wild-type (WT) and NCX knockout (KO) mice. First, we inactivated I(Na) using a ramp prepulse to 45 mV. In WT cells, inactivation of I(Na) decreased the Ca(2+) transient amplitude by 51.1 +/- 4.6% (P < 0.001, n = 14) and reduced its maximum release flux by 53.0 +/- 4.6% (P < 0.001, n = 14). There was no effect on diastolic Ca(2+). In striking contrast, Ca(2+) transients in NCX KO cardiomyocytes were unaffected by the presence or absence of I(Na) (n = 8). We obtained similar results when measuring trigger Ca(2+) influx in myocytes with depleted sarcoplasmic reticulum. In WT cells, inactivation of I(Na) decreased trigger Ca(2+) influx by 37.8 +/- 6% and maximum rate of flux by 30.6 +/- 7.7% at 2.5 mm external Ca(2+) (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, n = 9). This effect was again absent in the KO cells (n = 8). Second, exposure to 10 mum tetrodotoxin to block I(Na) also reduced the Ca(2+) transients in WT myocytes but not in NCX KO myocytes. We conclude that I(Na) and reverse NCX modulate Ca(2+) release in murine WT cardiomyocytes by augmenting the pool of Ca(2+) that triggers ryanodine receptors. This is an important mechanism for regulation of Ca(2+) release and contractility in murine heart.
